I have posted before about shoulder injurys, just recently through different mri scans ...the last one with dye injected Iv found I have a labral tear from 6 to 9 oclock and displacement of the humeral head, that's on my left shoulder with my right apparently going the same way. I have a bone out of place in my lumber spine, a bad knee and a few other injurys. Iv been told not to do anymore weight training but its what I love. increasingly I can do less an less exercises but I need to be able to train my chest so what im looking for are some exercises that are light on the shoulders not including things like elevated press ups or any type of flys (flys cause some of the most discomfort) THANKS!

I'm not familiar with you condition, so can't offer specific advice. However, I have read that individuals with shoulder issues often do better pressing with their elbows tucked in close to the body, rather than flared out to the sides. For example, you may find neutral-grip dumbbell bench presses more comfortable than wide-grip barbell bench presses.

You could also try pin presses if poor shoulder mobility limits your ROM. These would be preferable to ordinary partials, since the pins would prevent you from accidentally lowering the barbell too far.
